I installed node.js v14.15.4 and node-gyp version 7.1.2 on my windows 10.
When I run npm install I got those errors;
gyp ERR! build error

I followed the steps described on the node-gyp but does not work. PS: I have python 2.7 installed and I installed python 3.8.
Npm is installed with a node-gyp integrated and it contains an old version, I upgraded the node-gyp:
npm install --global node-gyp@latest
for /f "delims=" %P in ('npm prefix -g') do npm config set node_gyp "%P\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js"
For more details you can take a look at Upgrading node-gyp independently of npm and handling multiple versions.
